The online dating service Tinder began verifying users by video. To verify your identity, you need to take a video selfie on the front camera of your smartphone. This verification method will allow the user to receive a special “tick”.
Tinder has launched user verification using video selfies in the app, The Verge writes.
To pass the verification, the user must film himself with the front camera of the smartphone through the application. After that, a person will be able to receive a special blue “tick” and access communication with already verified accounts.
Tinder launched video verification to combat scammers. The service expects the new method to confirm the existence of a real user.
Those who have already passed verification and received a “tick” will need to verify the account again using the new method.
